Bonneville Seattle and the Seattle Seahawks are proud to announce the Seattle-King County chapter of the National Football Foundation as August's Charity of the Month!

Established in 1966, the Seattle-King County chapter of National Football Foundation promotes and develops the power of amateur football in developing the qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, competitive zeal and the drive for academic excellence in America's young people.

As a non-profit and volunteer organization they would like to thank the dedicated board members and generous donors that support the National Football Foundation, which include the Pacific Northwest 7-11 franchise owners association, Washington Athletic Club and 101 Club.
